Hi folks ! Great site you have here !! I'm a long time space case with a facination for the unknown . Unfortunately , my personal viewing has been limited to eyesight and camera lenses. I'm thrilled to be using a telescope now but, I have no idea what I'm looking at half the time :D I thought I would join this site to gain some knowledge and meet some new friends with a common interest. Looking forward to finding new targets and sharing some experiences along the way.

Cheers

Hello and welcome Tripod.

You'll find this to be a very helpful, welcoming and friendly forum.

I was in St John's at the start of the month for 3 days, and have nothing but praise for the place....spectacular scenery, but more importantly, wonderful people :D

I fully intend to return with my wife, and have a good holiday there.

Cheers

Rob

Hi Tripod and welcome to the forum. Agree with Tinker regarding Stellarium and there are some nice easy features that will help you plan and learn the sky when the inevitable clouds come in!

Clear skies and nice image by the way!
